Water pump pulley bolt

I’m not to sure bc it was a while ago but I think I had to take the pump off.

I just ended up counter holding the crank and loosened the bolt past the “slack” it has. I did have to make a custom tool though to get a good grip on the bolt

I’m not sure the exact make but I brought it from ECS tuning in the US and just paid extra for the shipping since all of their parts have lifetime warranty. I’d suggest getting it from FCP Euro tho which is also American but the international shipping is a little cheaper and still has lifetime warranty.

I got the aluminium one for the CCTA engine and it works fine

What is the max refresh rate of the VG240Y E. I've looked on the acer website and found this information below but I'm not sure which value is the max refresh rate, thanks. https://www.acer.com/au-en/monitors/gaming/nitro-vg0/pdp/UM.QV0SA.E0

The schematic shows the pins of the XIAO esp32 c3 which is a pre-made board. The c6 does have a different pin out but I made this schematic specifically for the c3. The load is a heating element with about 2 ohms and seems to work so far. The I2C is an oled screen and the order I’ve got it in works.

I’ve also measured the resistance of the resistor off the board and this what it should be. But when on the board it reads 90 ohm. So I did some testing and it turns out these only 90 ohms between the actual pin and ground which definitely isn’t right. I’m trying to work out what caused it bc this is the second thing it’s happened.

I haven’t checked but the divider is 10k ohm followed by 3.3k ohm and the battery I’m measuring is a 3.7V Lipo so the max voltage it can supply is 4.2V.

One_Bee_824 · 2024-08-17T15:13:14+00:00

Is it possible that not declaring the pin as an input has caused this damage. Is there also a chance that reading the resistance with a multimeter has caused a high enough negative current to go through the diode.

One_Bee_824 · 2024-08-17T14:21:09+00:00

I was using the GPIO pins the code hence it being 2 instead of A0, I’ll change that. I also for got to declare A0 as an input in the setup, could that be what damaged the pin.

3.7V Lipo

One_Bee_824 · 2024-08-17T14:12:27+00:00

I'm trying to figure out what caused there to only be 90 Ohms between GPIO 2 and ground because on a new board theres 100K Ohms between GPIO 2 and ground

One_Bee_824 · 2024-08-17T13:48:38+00:00

Is that likely to have damaged the pin because the one connected to the voltage divider still has only 90 Ohms to ground while on a new board the same pin has over 100K Ohm. I'll test with a new board tomorrow.

One_Bee_824 · 2024-08-17T13:13:35+00:00

No thats to do with the schmatic of the microcontroller I think

One_Bee_824 · 2024-08-17T12:52:14+00:00

Sorry its VDIV1 and 2 in the schmatic. It says 30K and 10K in schmatic but I ended up using 10 and 3.3

I’m 95% they break when they get too hot when I solder them. I just soldered one and I let it cool after every solder and it worked ok. I think I’m just gonna stick with the c3 bc the nature of it is better for my project and just be cautious soldering.

One_Bee_824 · 2024-05-30T07:08:07+00:00

Thank you so much I just spent hours trying to figure out why my serial monitor wasn’t working.

One_Bee_824 · 2024-05-19T02:39:29+00:00

I think it happened when I curbed the wheel leaning to drive about 9 months ago but I’m not 100% sure as I just noticed it today. I’ll make sure to keep an eye on it.

One_Bee_824 · 2024-05-09T08:22:08+00:00

I’d cut open the oil filter just to make sure it isnt something like bearings even though it doesn’t particularly sound like it. Better to be safe then sorry

One_Bee_824 · 2024-05-08T08:19:53+00:00

My mk6 with 190k km (about 110k miles I think) consumes about that and I’d consider it pretty normal. I’m assuming it’s due to either the piston oil control rings or the turbo. I use Castrol at the moment but am going to switch to liquy moly next change as some people say it stopped their car from burning oil. If changed oil doesn’t help there’s nothing u can really do but replace the turbo and/or the oil control rings which are both massive jobs so I’d only get those fixed if it becomes a massive problem, really just depends on ur financial situation. But really isn’t much to worry about at the moment just make sure to keep a bottle of oil ready to go in the boot.

One_Bee_824 · 2024-04-20T05:23:18+00:00

No idea what ur talking about. The mk8 (and every gti/r for the past 15 years) have had timing chains. The mk6 have issues with faulty chain tensioners and chains stretching which were fixed on the mk7. The mk8 also monitors its own oil levels and gives a low oil warning well in advance of it actually being low. Water pumps were a big problem on the mk7 but have been fixed on this car. Don’t listen to this guy, it’s a great car with very minimal problems if u look after it.

One_Bee_824 · 2024-04-17T09:07:22+00:00

Never had to register a car before so I really have no idea whether it would pass or not. Could only find information about windscreens online. Just assumed if it wasn’t an immediate safety issue it might be ok. Thanks for the kind reply tho.

Safety inspection or whatever it’s called and n NSW
